SMART HAND WASHING

Ensure Hand Hygiene Compliance

With hand hygiene critical for reducing the spread of infections, hospitals must develop guidelines for hand hygiene and effectively monitor compliance. Historically, hospitals have used manual processes to measure hand hygiene compliance. These periodic audits and studies captured a small portion of potential events with questionable accuracy. Tagnos ensures hand hygiene compliance by recording every time a clinician dispenses disinfectant gel or soap. If the individual enters or exits a patient room without washing their hands, the sensor tag triggers an alert as a reminder in real time.
